I never did during the process. I never even went to the website. Some months after my wife arrived I checked and it still said "initial review" She is now a citizen and I checked it a few months ago

I know.... I have read on here that sometimes the USCIS website is not always truthful which is annoying and so cruel LOL!

I don't have a single social networking site that I visit. I deleted facebook, never had twitter, and myspace won't actually go away so I ignore it. LOL

I think I have checked it everyday for the past 7 months, 3 weeks, and a day. At least 5 times a day on average.

Okay, based on your answers I am still normal :rofl::rofl: :rofl:

:wow::wow: :wow:

How about number of times looking at the Visa Journey Vs. Social Networking sites? Honestly, I read more in Visa Journey. Is this also normal? Hahaha

This is a nice topic.

I've had facebook since a little after launch, but I rarely check it because the people my age 26ish don't really seem to use it much. The only people who post on mine are the drama queens and people who are too stupid to even spell a single sentence correctly.

I have a couple of other forums I belong to, but maybe only check every 1-2 days.

I guess it depends on what my life is revolving around at that point - pregnancy forums when pregnant, immigration forums when immigrating and so on.

I check facebook all of the time.

But once again, only because I am looking for excuses not to work.

Like right now!

I actually don't give half a poop about facebook.

90% of the people on mine are relatives and 50% of those relatives, I'm not even sure I've met.

I typically use it to read about how sad and pathetic people are.

I will now use this time to quote stupid posts people post on facebook

you talk a good game, you play an even better one+++

What is this? Is this lyrics? What does this even mean?

Happy birthday to my sweet baby girl, I love you so much and would not change anything about her. Happy 3rd Birthday Savannah Mommy loves you.

Your 3 year old doesn't read your facebook

Obama is a bonehead. All talk, & terrible action.

To which I commented with this:

I have no patience for a man that can't act like a Man. I already have a #####. I don't need another.

Shes always complaining about back stabbers and terrible men (She's 21 i think)

I haven't been checking it very much at all lately. I'm thinking I'll get a text message before they update their online records. But I too am an August filer and I'm excited to see our month has started.

This is an I-130 thread. August hasn't started for I-130 petitions in Vermont (prior to Aug 15th, 2012).

I check roughly 3 times a day to see case status. I probably enter the number more than that though so I can get to the dashboard to view the processing charts. I checked about 5 times a day before my case status actually showed up because I was worried my app wasn't being processed. I called once a week on average.

Edited by speedwell

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

LATEST STEPS:

28 Jun 2013: POE Houston

27 Feb 2014: Whoa, life happened. Planning move "back home" together to Republic of Ireland by end of April.

29 Apr 2014: POE Dublin through Heathrow

I check this site as often as I check Facebook. I think the conversations here are much more intelligent than they are on Facebook. My friends are a crazy mix, some preaching at everyone, some hating everyone different and one drama queen. Oh, and my hubby, but he doesn't go on much. He prefers to skype.

Since hubby doesn’t always see his texts for hours on end, I check more often than is healthy.

Especially when I’m bored.

I’m starting to get worried about my timeline as well as my lease is up on 31 Jul and I can’t go month to month here.

I can’t look at the NOID we got or I don’t sleep :(

OH WOW ALL DAY LONG AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT SOMETIMES WHEN I CAN'T SLEEP
